      Once again it’s not enough to justify the cost.

      LLM translation are hazardous at best and we already a lot of translation tools already. Templating systems are older than me and even so no one in their right mind should trust a non deterministic tool to draft documents.

        That’s simply not true, What translation tool is better at translating English to Afrikaans?

        I’m just just picking a difficult language, I am Afrikaans look at my post history.

          Are you going to neat-pick a point each time rather than addressing my argument as a whole ?

          I’m french and I can tell you in a software developement context AI is worse than existing tool like deepL, maybe it work better in afrikaans and if that’s the case good we finally have an use case ! sadly being ok at translating thing is not what thoose model are selled on and even if it were : it’s still not worth the cost

          I’ll stop responding, no one is reading that far of a comment and you are not responding to my arguments in way that’s productive.

            DeepL has the same issues that a LLM has when it comes to translating.

            You’re still sending all your data to some server, it might be a bit more efficient than a LLM, not sure by how much. but it’s essentially the same thing.

            DeepL is essentially just a LLM specifically tuned for translations
